Sorry to bust anyone's bubble but the "bible" was written by misogynist desert nomads attempting to explain life

I dealt with lot and his daughter recently. This is a story made to explain the Ammonites and Moabites as bastards... in the story the women are not portrayed as 'bad'... they truly believe YHWH desttroyed everyone but them so their acts was self preservation of humanity... in the story. It is the work of a Jewish Hellenist i beive.. Yes Samson is modeled after Hercules but you already knew that

Heb. 11:1-Faith

by HowTheBibleWasCreated in

when i sti'' believed this verse was alwas in my mind: faithis the assured ecpectation of things hoped for... the ebident demonstration of realities not be held.... .

yes it seemed to preach the scientic method..so ai thought.

the point is my faith was never based on 'i belive.....' i thought based on the bluecreation book we had the truth.. latley a witness sakid herewes 11:1 meant that faith is the evidence.... well f***his idea.. if jws start belebong ths nonesese they will never escape.

How long will Paradise remaineth? Does Genesis 8:22 give us some kind of inidication?

by I_love_Jeff in

watchtower 6/15/1953 pg 371 though their annual periods were not calculated to the fraction of the day, there was no mistaking the seasons of the year, since jehovah had said, while the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.gen.

although jehovah's witnesses believe that paradise earth will remain forever, why does there own watchtower library 2014 software state otherwise?.

original word: part of speech: substantive; adverb accusative; adverb.

Gensisi 8:22 is a quote from Borossus in the 280s BCE he quotes from the Epic of Gilgemesh likely in 1300 BCE... So I find the authority of this story bull s**t

Wooly Mammoths

by Bloody Hotdogs! in

a jw came to my door a while back and used wooly mammoths as evidence for noah's flood.

he was a bit older, so i thought this must be some oddball out-of-date teaching of jehovah's witnesses.

i could remember something in the insight book about frozen mammoths, but not much else.

When I was still very much a believer and in high school I took 3 clases on geology and realted... one of the sections was on the ice age... I always found this hard to fit into the bible then

I have doubts... can you help me??- A new idea

by HowTheBibleWasCreated in

i have been perplexed as to how to brung my wife out of jws and to exit the religion... but i had an idea last night.

i know that elders will legitimantly meet with brothers who have doubts and encourage them... not df them .. this is a sheperding call etc.. thus since my wife knows i have doubt s i could say: i want to have two brother over to discuss this ... she will agree.... of course i will hit these guys with biblical textual issues, an biology to where they are stunned and still ask... "so brothers... can you solve this conflict...?".

in this case they will not think of me as an apostate but may question their own beliefs... .

HowTheBibleWasCreated

My main issue is she knows I have doubts.... I have refused to tell her what they are until the time is right.

Meanwhile I dont want meetings, service etc in my life. I also hate praying to Jablooper at meals.

She doesnt drive so of I miss a meeting...she does... and gets mad at me about it.

So for me to exit fully is impossible almost.

I asked about confronting the elders for two reasons:

It is a subtle way to let her know my doubts

The so-called secret elder book says elders may address genuine doubters and such are not apostates..

As for the governing body questionI will simply quote Jackson and state that is Br. Jacksons staement under oath.

But I dont plan to shave anytime soon.

1. Everyone EVEN WITNESSES liked my beard...on FB

2. F**k them

3. They claim the mythical Jesus had a beard so... why not me.

4. The condemation agaisnt beards are from 1968 and I suspect fictional conversation...

5. I want to see the poor moronic elders faces when I walk into the hall with a beard.

Now as a scientific person I feel a beard is n evolutionary leftover but since historically it has served men for milleniia I like it...

The WT has no offical argument aginst beards and elders in Europe have them

Any suggestions on this idea?
